The need to ensure business continuity through unpredictable cycles of office availability and remote work is challenging IT departments in every industry. Given the constantly changing situation, where do IT Departments stand today?

An independent experimental study, "Good Sound, Good Research," published in the journal Science Communication, reveals that it is not only the spokesperson and the content that make a difference in the perceived quality of a speech.

In fact, 81% of IT Decision Makers say audio has the biggest impact on improving the quality of virtual meetings. Good sound is easy to overlook, but poor sound cannot be missed. It causes fatigue, increases distraction, and reduces comprehension.

The optimal audio solution for any given meeting space depends on a wide range of factors, including the size of the room, the number of people involved, the number of presenters, and the style of presentation.

Thinking of upgrading your meeting space collaboration system to support a new era of work? New workplace demands and cloud adoption are forcing a rethink of audio equipment and services.

What will office collaboration look for the rest of this year and beyond? Certainly, it will be different to what it was at the start of 2020. For those returning to the workplace, there’s understandably a feeling of anxiety about how safe it is in terms of office hygiene and social distancing. Many employees will continue working from home, so there will be fewer people sharing rooms. 

Meetings will continue to take place. Debating, decision-making and voting on local matters will carry on. How will collaboration continue? 

Videoconferencing has come of age. Put to the test in the COVID-19 pandemic with millions of people working from home, its value as a business and learning enabler has soared. Indeed, the implementation of videoconferencing technologies has helped many organizations to survive this difficult time.
